A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Joseph Conrad

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

Mark Twain

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages.

William C. Gault

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Robert A. Heinlein

Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil, trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

William Faulkner

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.

John Campbell

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde
